Seattle Imports:Starbucks, Grunge and now Kilts???

(Rub your mousey to enlarge this crapified camera phone image)
Are we ready for this Seattle import? Spotted a guy in a biker shirt at the House of Rat yesterday afternoon and he was getting a LOT of stares. Why? He was wearing a kilt. A heavy denim, multipleated kilt that was a far cry from your basic tartan plaid. The trusty label was googleable and here is what I found:Utilikilts. Their site is actually informative and the amateur video/commercials are actually kinda funny or at least at this early hour are.
A few questions come to mind. Has anyone seen the men in LA wearing kilts in public? Are the men of LA ready to wear them? My better half says I have the legs to pull it off, but….

I’ve seen plenty of guys in UKs around town and have for years. A good half of the men I know have them. And a guy with the confidence to wear one? Hot, hot, hot. My fella certainly has one, though it took some convincing at first!

I’ve seen utilikilts on men at Burning Man and then, back in LA, on a lot of the dudes in the special effects/rigging/grip or whatever field, usually with their pockets stuffed full of power drills and nailguns. I always thought it was super-manly & sexy.

Yeah I’ve seen guys wearing Utilikilts in public before, though not often (then again, I don’t live in the city). I don’t own a Utilikilt, but I have a regular tartan plaid kilt that I wear on occasion. Kilts are cool.

Everytime I see a sheep wearing trendy shit, I have always had the urge to kick that sheep in the balls. Couldn’t do it with Ugg-wearers since the sheeps have the vajayjays. But this one…is made for steel toes.

I think this is the same guy I saw at the getty yesterday. my daughter pointed him out and I had to explain that it wasn’t a dress…oh and it’s rude to point and say loudly “that guy is wearing a dress!”

Thanks for the post frazgo, it reminds me that I haven’t worn my Utilikilt lately. I usually save it for a special occasion, but with the weather so hot and sticky, a kilt sounds really comfy right now.
